Turbulent means characterized by conflict, disorder, or confusion; not stable or calm. The opposite would convey peace or calmness. Capricious means unpredictable, desolate means deserted, and obstreperous means noisy and unruly — none of these are antonyms of turbulent. 'Tranquil' means free from disturbance, calm, and peaceful, which is the direct opposite of turbulent. Therefore, 'tranquil' is the correct antonym.
